Will Ferrell Super Bowl Commercial Skipped Lufkin and Nacogdoches

Jen Austin — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 13:51:07 +0000

Actually, only three select markets in the entire country saw the Will Ferrell Super Bowl commercial live on Sunday.

The randomness of the markets is just as entertaining as the commercial itself! Remember last year when Will Ferrell's Super Bowl spot only aired in North Platte, Nebraska? This year the lucky markets were Sherman, Texas; Ardmore, Oklahoma; and Glendive, Montana.

How genius is that? Perhaps the commercial didn't cost as much to run since it was on in such a limited capacity. And now everyone is talking about it. It was posted on Youtube Sunday, and it's received more than 1.4 million views since then.

Andree Valentine — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 14:51:26 +0000

The Super Bowl hasn’t always been so super. In fact, throughout the ‘80s and into the first half of the ‘90s many of the games were blowouts the likes of which are rarely seen during the regular season.

We’ve had better luck with Super Bowls lately, and this year’s match-up between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers is about as even as can be.
